is the Green Art Nail
This is a swatch of Topless & Barefoot from Essie. This is my first time wearing it and so far I really like it. It is very close to my skintone and makes my nails look very clean and neat. Let me know what you think of this colour!

I purchased the clear nail wheels from BF-Beauty:
http://www.bf-beauty.com/en/product/item/347/product_detail.html
A package of 10 wheels was only $4.99. I bought the clear wheels so that I could see the true opacity of each polish.
On the wheels below, I applied 3 coats of each polish. I did not apply a base coat or top coat to any of the nails.

Two weeks ago I began swatching my Essie polishes and recently I have completed my collection of OPIs.

Lately I have been working on swatching all of my polishes so that I will know exactly which colours I have. Also, I find nail wheels very useful when deciding which polish to use because they can be held up to your hands to see if a certain polish complements your skin tone or up to an outfit that you are painting your nails to match with.
I began with my Essie polishes because I only have 20 of them and there are exactly 20 nails on the wheels that I purchased from Beauties Factory: http://www.bf-beauty.com/en/product/item/347/product_detail.html
A package of 10 wheels was only $4.99. I bought the clear wheels so that I could see the true opacity of each polish while swatching.
On the wheel below, I applied 3 coats of each polish. I did not apply a base coat or top coat to any of the nails.
